#12 Audio

Extending off of the Animation project, our next task was to add audio to the stop motion we created. In GarageBand, we uploaded the stop motion mp4 file and then chose background music and/or sound effects that we thought were fitting to the video. I chose to do background music for the intro section of my video which shows the title, and then once the car starts the race I chose to add race car sound effects to make it seem as though the car was actually emitting those sounds. My goal was to make it sound as realistic as possible with the sounds of tires burning out, car horns, and applaud from the audience once the car crossed the finish line.

#11 Animation

For this project we had to take 60 photos of an object, setting, or person slightly moving more each shot. When all the photos are put together they appear to move as though film would. To do this we had to place the entire folder of photos into Photoshop, put them into the correct order, adjust the length of each frame and add transitions or filters to add a sense of oneness. Once the photos were put together at a good speed, we exported the stop motion as an mp4 and it played as though a movie would.

#10 Morphx

For this project I had to find three photos of myself, one as a baby, one as a toddler, and one current photo. I started by cropping the first baby photo and then cropping the other two images to be the same size as the baby photo. I did this by resizing the images so that the eyes lined up in all three photos and lowering the opacity to make sure. Next, I added the photos into the video timeline on photoshop and made each photo appear for a certain length of time. I added in the "cross-fade" transition to make it look as though I was progressively aging and like my face was morphing from one age into the other.

#9 Art Project

For this project, I started with finding a famous painting that I could incorporate my face into. I had to choose a picture of myself where my face was turned at the same angle the woman in the paintings is for the best results. First, I added the photo of myself into the already existent file of the famous painting, then I traced my face with the pen tool in order to remove it from the original background and onto the woman's face. After my face was adjusted properly, I adjusted the hue ad saturation of my skin tone to best match hers. I also used the burn and dodge tools to create illusions of lightness and darkness (shadows) on my face where they appeared most fitting. A bunch of minor adjustments were made in order to create the illusion that it's me in the painting and not the original woman.

#8 Somewhere

To create this photo, I chose a picture I had taken from home as well as a full-body portrait of myself and combined them together to make it look as though I was standing on top of the mountain. After adding the photo of myself into the background image, I used the magic wand tool to trace the outline of my body, however, you can also use the pen tool for more accuracy. Next, I used the eraser tool to remove any bits that made it stick out and look unrealistic. The burning tool was also used to darken up the edges and create a shadow on my face since there is a ray of sun going over me. I used the dodge tool to brighten the top of my face since that's where the sun is hitting it. To create the shadow in front of me, I copied the entire cutout of my body, changed it to all black, skewed and distorted it to make it go in front of me below my feet, and then used the eraser tool to make it less harsh.

#7 Autoscopy

For this project we had to select images from the internet or ones that we had previously taken that were of a high resolution. Each individual photo had to be uploaded into AdobePhotoshop to be edited. For some of the edits I adjusted the hue and vibrancy, blurred them, made them looking like oil paintings, changed them to black and white, and switched up the levels of saturation as well as adding filters. The goal of this project was to make them look drastically different and sometimes a bit unrealistic. After all ten photos were edited, they were merged together into one file on Adobe Acrobat.

#5 Gradient

For this project I had to find an image of a fruit on the internet and then move it into Illustrator. The first thing I did was trace the outline of the image, and then I had to create a gradient mesh in order to recreate the gradient of the fruit. The highlights and shadows of the fruit were copied by outlining the area and then pasting it onto the new lemon. To get the exact colors of the highlights and shadows I used the eyedropper tool to select the original color of it and transfer it to the new lemon. Lastly, the texture was added and changed color accordingly to replicate the pores of the lemon and give it another dimension.

#4 Business Cards

To create these business cards in Illustrator, I first created six 3.5in x 2in rectangular boxes to copy and paste into a file on illustrator. Next, I copied my logos into the designated cards and starting editing. I changed the background color on each card to give them each a different appearance, I centered the logos differently, and I changed the fonts of the informative writing. On the middle business card, I reflected the logo on the back side to make it appear as though you're looking through it. On the bottom business card I chose to two contrasting colors on each side.

#3 Logos

To create these logos, I first had to come up with a business idea and name. I thought a store that sold alcoholic icees would be popular in Tampa, and the name "Frost" seemed simple, modern, and bold. Next, I found images online that could be used to best represent my business such as a snowflake, penguin, and icicles. I traced these images with the pen tool to make them my own and then added in the text in different fonts and colors. I think that all three are very different and would be effective in giving my business the face that I want it to have.

#2 Line Art

The process of this Line Art project began with importing a line art image from the internet and using the pen tool to create different anchor points along the lines. Once you created an anchor point, you held the cursor until you reached your next desired point and from there drew the curve to best fit the original line. Straight lines were a bit easier to trace since you didn't have to create the curve. After all the lines were traced, the text was added.

#1 Canvas

There are many different elements that make up this canvas, for starters, the gradient background. After this I added the circular shape to make the sun, and a rectangular shape to make the water. An oval, line, and rectangle were added to create the hot air balloon, and then I chose the custom shape code to create the cloud. The whale was imported as an image from the internet, and the text was inserted by using the text links. Everything had to be shifted and moved around point by point which was the most challenging part, but the colors for each object were easy to change.
